Synopsis

One extraordinarily brilliant script --The Arts Review

Winner of a Fringe First Award, Edinburgh 2018

Brian and Donna's son is nine years old and he's struggling. That's what his teacher says. Says he should see a psychologist. But Brian and Donna - recently separated - never liked school, never liked teachers.

An explosive triple confrontation that is funny, heartbreaking and beautifully observed, CLASS is a play about learning difficulties: in school, in life, wherever.

Following rave reviews for its sold-out run in the Dublin Theatre Festival 2017, the play transferred to the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, before playing in the Traverse Theatre as part of the Edinburgh Festival 2018. CLASS is new Irish writing at its finest.
